Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul: "There is something rather amazing about the Internet .... I've been used to delivering a message very similar to what I'm delivering tonight for many, many years and not getting a whole lot of responses. And all of a sudden, there’s a whole generation of people now very excited about hearing about the message of freedom." [1]

"Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo announced Monday he won't seek a sixth term in Congress from Colorado next year, saying he has succeeded in making illegal immigration a national issue. But Tancredo said he will continue his long-shot bid for the White House and hinted that if that fails, he would consider running for the Senate."[2]

Seattle Times article reveals religious bigotry: "Tim Burgess is the ideal candidate for Seattle city politics. Except for one very big thing." He has faith in Jesus Christ. [8]

Protesters shout down anti-Islamspeaker at MSU'Lansing State Journal
- "When British Nationalist Nick Griffin took the podium at a Michigan State University event, he tried to explain how Islam is a threat to Western civilization. Protesters wouldn't have it. Hurling obscenities and using chants to interrupt his address, rambunctious student organizations forced Griffin to abandon his speech and allow an informal question and answer session." No matter what his politics or positions on other matters, why is fascism, denial of free speech, only allowed to be practiced against non-liberal POV's? And here, they were not shouting down the speaker for his past Holocaust Denial, but for rightfully speaking out against Islamic fascists.

This was not an isolated incident, either. The same thing happened to Jim Gilchrist at Columbia University. [9]

Two students were busted for bringing crack cocaine to Case High School in Racine, Wisconsin. Asked if students were surprised, one replied, "I don't think it is a dirty secret. I think it is well known by the student population.” [10]

Chemistry professor Homer Jacobson retracts 52-year-old article rather than let it stand as evidence for creation. Homer Jacobson, in 1955, published an article on the chemistry of the early earth. Now that creationists have cited his article as undermining the claim that life developed by accident, he suddenly has found "errors" in the article and wants to take it back. International Herald-Tribune. October 25, 2007.[18]

Congress Urged to Halt $300 Million in taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood.
More than 60 leaders from across the country called on Congress Thursday to suspend over $300 million in annual taxpayer funding to the nation's biggest abortion provider. According to a complaint filed in Kansas's Johnson County District Court last week, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri is accused of 29 counts of performing "unlawful late-term abortions," 29 counts of "unlawful failure to determine viability for late-term abortion, 23 felony counts of "making false information and 27 counts of "unlawful failure to maintain records. Founded by a racist, many minority leaders have spoken out against Planned Parenthood's apparent racial infanticide.[19]

"40 percent of public high school students are the victims of crime every year" and "half-a-million incidents of violence occur every month."[25]Atheism at work with our tax dollars!

More nutty Liberal deceit: California infernos are Bush's fault!!
Democrat Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) blames Global Warming and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) Blames the Iraq War. Say what you will about Democrats, if significant human misery and loss of property is involved, they will always seek to score cheap political points by blaming the Bush Administration. Rather than coming together as Americans, to help other Americans during times of crisis, the first reaction of Democrats is to vent their pathological hatred of George W. Bush. So far, no leading Democrat has accused President Bush of actually starting the California wildfires. But they are no doubt working on that very angle, 24/7 now that the blazes have been ruled arson.[26] Talk about your Liberal Hysteria!

Public high school dropout rates soar, with the rate in Detroit between "60 percent and more than 70 percent, depending on the method of analysis." But guess what? "It's easier for schools to let students drop out. They figure those students drag down their test scores and attendance rates ...." [30]

Liberal Antioch College "doesn't grade classes, encourages students to develop their own study plans and combines academic learning with experience through a co-op program in which students leave campus to work in various fields. ... In 2000, death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of killing a Philadelphia police officer, gave a taped commencement address at students' invitation." The result? The college plans to close because of declining enrollment.[33]

A Massachusetts jury completely acquits a pro-family leader for an alleged assault of an ACLU activist who was a counter-demonstrator at a pro-family rally.[38] Are the homosexual activists losing their grip on Massachusetts?

Famous atheist and Nobel laureateJames Watson has now disavowed his own quoted views on intelligence and race: "There is no scientific basis for such a belief." What else has Watson said that he now believes has "no scientific basis"? [45]

Male teachers disappear from public school. The "number of male public school teachers is at a 40-year low. In the nation there are 3 million public school teachers, and male teachers make up 25 percent of those instructors. In elementary schools, males represent 9 percent of instructors."[51]

Update: Senator Reid is now trying to claim credit for the phenomenal success of the auction. Rush Limbaugh reminds everyone of Reid's vitriolic and un-Senatorial language on the Senate floor prior to his sending of his letter to Mr. Mays. Watch the video of Reid's remarks to the Senate today (October 19, 2007).

it is rather unbelievable that Clinton would listen in to conversations being conducted by political opponents, but refuse to allow our intelligence agencies to listen in to conversations being conducted by terrorists as they plot and plan to kill us.[63]

Will the Values Summit rally behind a conservative presidential candidate? "Over 2,000 social conservatives are expected to attend the Oct. 19-21 values voter summit in Washington, where eight Republican presidential hopefuls will address the largest gathering of pro-family activists."[64]

General Sanchez Blasts Media, But Media Only Highlight His Criticism of BushNewsBusters[65]General Ricardo Sanchez, the former top commander in Iraq regretted how “tactically insignificant events have become strategic defeats for America because of the tremendous power and impact of the media.” Sanchez added: “For some of you, just like some of our politicians, the truth is of little to no value if it does not fit your own pre-conceived notions, biases and agendas.”

Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney declared, "What I do want to see, and where I think the American people are today, is to see a conservative jurist on the Supreme Court and to see Roe v. Wade overturned."[69] Experts predict that Justice John Paul Stevens will be the next to retire, and that filling his vacancy will decide the fate of Roe v. Wade.

There are twice as many abortions in North America, where abortion has no meaningful restrictions, than in Africa, where it is generally illegal. There are nearly five times as many abortions in Eastern Europe, where abortion has few restrictions, than Western Europe, where it is restricted. The pro-abortion conclusion? That laws somehow don't matter![71]

The leading anti homosexual agenda organization in the United States has just linked to two of Conservapedia's articles on homosexuality. Two members of large conservative press organizations had formerly stated that they had some interest in doing a story on the matter if the leading anti homosexual agenda website linked to our articles. Stay tuned for future details.

Anniversary: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed on October 15, 1991. He stated during his Senate hearings, "The role of a judge is a limited one. It is to ... interpret the Constitution, where called upon, but at no point to impose his or her will or ... opinion in that process."

Wikipedia decline is confirmed by one of its larger contributors: "Out of a sample of 100,000 articles, he found an overall decline in just about every aspect of the service."[76] The decline roughly coincides with Conservapedia's exposure of the Bias in Wikipedia.

Britishliberal party collapses, many shift to conservative party."At 14 per cent, the Liberal Democrats' rating is lower than in any ICM poll since the 2001 election. Nearly one in four of those who say they voted for the party at the last election have now switched to the Conservatives."[77]

Conservative principles proven right again! Tax cuts increased tax revenue and reduced the Federaldeficit. A happy President George W. Bush said "Tax cuts work to promote economic growth, and that economic activity brings in higher revenues to the Federal treasury. This year tax revenues grew by $161 billion to reach $2.568 trillion, the highest level of Federal revenues ever recorded. That's an increase of 6.7 percent. And it builds on the 14.5 percent and 11.8 percent increase in revenues during the last two years." As a percentage of the economy, the deficit is now lower than the average of the last forty years.[78][79][80]
Bravo!

The dishonest MSM is using the occasion to proclaim Gore's prize as yet another referendum on the 2000 election, and even U.S. Iraq policy! [89] Evidently the Nobel Committee didn't see the recent ruling by a United Kingdom judge, who said the film was riddled with inaccuracies. One of the problem areas included an assertion that the sea would rise up to 20 feet "in the near future" as ice in Greenland or Western Antarctica melts. The judge said this was an alarmist statement. He added that scientific consensus held that that kind of sea level rise would be possible if Greenland's ice melted, but that that melt would happen "after, and over, millennia". In what is a rare judicial ruling on what children can see in the class-room, Justice Barton was at pains to point out that the “apocalyptic vision” presented in the film was politically partisan and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change. [90]This is more proof of Liberal Hysteria.

Update: Heard on Rush Limbaugh's radio program: R. Emmett Tyrell, editor and publisher of The American Spectator, tells Rush's guest host that Henry Waxman's staff have been urging his constituents to place crank calls to the offices of the Spectator. In the face of this "harassment," Tyrell refuses to retract his story. He also asserts that Waxman has in fact changed his story in that he first complained of "misrepresentation" before denying the report completely.

More tragic carnage in public schools:
A gunman opened fire in a downtown Cleveland, Ohio high school Wednesday before killing himself, and five people were taken to a hospital, authorities said. Police said SuccessTech Academy had been secured and that the lone suspect had fatally shot himself. Students said he was enrolled at the alternative school but did not attend class Wednesday.[94]

Vicente Fox, former President of Mexico, admits to television talk-show host Larry King that he (Fox) and PresidentGeorge W. Bush were working on a plan that included introducing a common currency to all North American countries. Fox blames Hugo Chavez of Venezuela for getting in the way. WorldNetDaily[99] View a CNN transcript here. Watch a YouTube one-minute video clip here. (Note: unconfirmed reports state that CNN is scrubbing this dialogue from transcripts of the Larry King show--but they couldn't do it before other Web activists had already begun to cache it.)

Remember Essjay? Wikipedia's resident PhD expert in Theology who it was discovered was a community college dropout and never finished Catholicism for Dummies ? A hush hush memorandum states Wikipedia's decline "is unprecedented in Wikipedia's history... Though it may be purely coincidental, this time frame also corresponds to the Essjay controversy appearing in the press." [104]

Here's one example of why Wikipedia is declining: it has locked its entry about Richard Dawkins to censor one of his quotes, despite being verified with a reference.[105] Perhaps the atheists on Wikipedia don't want people to learn what Dawkins said.

Quote of the day from our brightest liberal college newspaper about how two students were robbed at gunpoint near Harvard. The Harvard Crimson quoted the police as saying that the robbers "don’t care if the victims are Harvard students."[108]

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says Liberals used "a high-tech form of lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves" and a "message that, unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you, you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree."In a recent interview tied to the release of his new book, My Grandfather's Son, Thomas said that the treatment he received was really about abortion and the lengths to which the deceitfulLiberal pro-choice lobby will go to keep a pro-life justice off the Court.He writes that he had grown up fearing the Ku Klux Klan’s lynch mobs but “my worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia, but in Washington, D.C., where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony.”Fox News Channel

Ohio Lawmaker Wants to Change Policy that Removed 'God' From Flag CertificateFox News
"Republican Rep. Michael Turner urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to review and reverse a rule followed by the Architect of the Capitol that bans the use of religious expressions on flag certificates."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas responds to liberals: "My job is to write opinions. I decide cases and write opinions. It is not to respond to idiocy and critics who make statements that are unfounded. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have constructive criticisms, but it should be constructive. Whether or not I’m not black ... whether or not I’m black or not, that's just silliness. That is not worth responding to."[127]

The decline in water levels of the Great Lakes is not due to global warming, which predicts "precipitation will rise, which hasn't occurred." [133] One possible explanation for the decline in water levels is that the Great Lakes -- and Earth itself -- are younger and less permanent than liberals admit.

In liberalMassachusetts, the Boston Common (the nation's oldest park) has become a den of iniquity. "As of earlier this month, police have made 344 drug arrests in the area this year - more than double the amount during the same period in 2003. Aggravated assaults have jumped 65 percent since 2003, and robberies have climbed 25 percent."[134]

Richard Dawkins is angered by a new movie criticizing evolutionists.[135] The New York Times calls vocal atheistRichard Dawkins an "eminent scientist" and an "evolutionary biologist," when in fact Dawkins is merely a Museum "professor" in "Public Understanding of Science," outside of any respectable university science department and donated by an ally "with the express intention that its first holder should be Richard Dawkins." [136] No reputable American university would allow such favoritism; see our article on Scientific dogmatism.

Ongoing pro-Democracyriots continue to grip Burma, with widespread involvement of the Buddhist Clergy. President George W. Bush Thursday condemned the Myanmar government's crackdown on protesters and urged China to use its influence in the region to find a peaceful end to the standoff.

"The world is watching the people of Burma take to the streets to demand their freedom, and the American people stand in solidarity with these brave individuals. We feel admiration and compassion for the Monks and peaceful protesters calling for democracy," President Bush said. The Bush Administration has reacted swiftly to support the growing demands for Democracy by passing tough trade sanctions and credit restrictions against the Burmese regime. President Bush called for all supporters of Democracy to offer prayers for the Burmese people.

Security forces swept through Myanmar's main city Thursday, killing nine people including a Japanese journalist, and arresting hundreds more in a brutal crackdown on anti-government protests.
